The approach to my work is shaped by my origins as a painter; creating links and movement in the work through a consideration of colour, line, shape and space.

While my practice mainly started on the canvas, it now also includes installations of objects & paintings in architectural spaces.

It is the discovery and possibilities that occur as the work unfolds that I am investigating.

The actual form that the work takes is, therefore, highly varied.

Some works are playful, curious & joyful encounters for people to engage with. Others are more subtle and refined; still compositions and environments that allow or initiate contemplation.

"Curiosity and time is required to engage with these distilled arrangements. But by participating in this way the viewer is opened to contemplative delight."
